Living in Vietnam is an amazing experience, but the hot and humid climate can be tough on your hair. Many expats continue using the same hair care routine they had back home, which often leads to dry hair, oily scalps, or hairstyles that don’t last.
Here are five common hair care mistakes—and how to avoid them.
1. Washing Your Hair with Hot Water
Hot water removes your hair’s natural moisture and can dry out your scalp. Use lukewarm or cool water whenever possible to keep your hair healthy.
2. Not Protecting Your Hair from the Sun
Vietnam’s strong sunlight can damage your hair, causing dryness, fading hair color, and split ends. Wearing a hat or using UV-protection hair products can make a big difference.
3. Ignoring Your Scalp
The humid weather increases sweat and oil production. If you don’t clean your scalp properly, it can lead to dandruff, itching, and greasy hair.
4. Using Too Much Styling Product
Using too much wax, gel, or pomade can clog your scalp and make your hair heavy and difficult to wash. Use only what you need and wash it out thoroughly every day.
5. Waiting Too Long Between Haircuts
Hair grows quickly in Vietnam’s climate and can lose its shape faster than you expect. Getting a haircut every 3–4 weeks helps keep your style neat and easy to manage.
